Subject: [Leica] Adorama says no

Adorama likes to play like its a news source. And Google buys it hook line
and sinker.
So on my Google internet news starter sheet there are news headlines and
they come from Adorama some of them. About photography. Like its some kind
of real news source. Objective news.

Don't get me wrong I love Adorama. Just in this year they've really gotten
their act together.
But acting like a news source gets my goat.

This time round they're scooping everybody by saying that the M8 will not be
upgraded to full frame that the Lee thing has been confirmed to be off
center and premature.
By a rep.

In other words sales are slowing down a bit on M8's because people want to
wait for a full frame one.

I don't think even Leica announced this I think they just talked on the
phone to some rep.

And the reps are really sales guys themselves.
